Members from the Community Enhancement Board (CEB) provided County of Wheatland Council with their funding recommendations on Nov. 20. There were a lot of great creative ideas put forth from the community, said Marcy Field with CEB. There were 40 applications for funding. There were also two big-ticket applicants. The Town of Drumheller Badlands Community Facility, which was referred back to council to consider use of Municipal Reserve funds in consideration of the Dalum residents that would use the facility. The Strathmore Golf Club Arts and Recreation Foundation also applied. Out of the 2011-2012 allotment, 29 projects were chosen for recommendation at a cost of $599,865.20. There was an additional $100,000 separated out for library funding. A reserve of approximately $59,000 was left in the fund. Full funding asked for by the 29 applicants was recommended. The board was formed in the Spring of 2012 and members met with council in June to set up timelines and the application process for community interest groups. Advertisements went out and the deadline for 2012 applications was Sept. 30. The September deadline applies only to this years allocations. In 2013 onward, applications for Community Enhancement money will be taken until Jan. 31 of each year, with checks issued to accepted applicants by March 31. This year the board developed guidelines for its structure, funding parameters and application review processes on Oct. 10. It was a long meeting but they worked through it all, said Jennifer Deak, CAO for the county. There are two representatives on the board from each electoral division in Wheatland County. No alternative representatives are appointed to attend meetings, if the original appointee cannot attend a meeting. The representatives terms will be staggered respectively one and two year terms. Wheatland Council will appoint the representatives. Administrative support to the board is provided by Wheatland County. Continued on Page 2

Christmas market fun

Tthe Strathmore and Area Christmas Market was held at the Strathmore Travelodge Nov. 18. Thirty vendors selling everything from books to fashion accessories to clothing attracted a steady stream of shoppers. Santa and Mrs. Claus were on hand to help with that Christmas wish list. Organizer and Strathmore resident Kim Bodeux considered this event to be a great success and her plan is to run the Christmas Market again next year. She is also looking into organizing a similar event for the spring around Mothers Day. Doug Taylor Photo

Tis the season to help those in need

Food is starting to come in, but as always there is always the concern over whether or not there will be enough. Nov. 20 was the first sorting day for the Strathmore and District Christmas Hamper Society. The tables where still fairly bare, but the hope is to have them filled by Dec. 13. The cutoff for food donations is Dec. 13 and the society will still collect cheques after that date.

Taste of Titanic at the Strathmore library

shannon LecLaiR Times Reporter From now until Dec. 1 there are historic and interesting memorabilia at the Strathmore Municipal Library. Items from the Titanic are on display to help generate awareness and interest in the upcoming lecture and exhibit. Larry Robinson, a Titanic historian, was in the neighbourhood and decided to approach the library about putting up the display and hosting a lecture. Robinson has hosted lectures at various schools, colleges, museums and galleries since 1991. He also hosted tours when the TELUS World of Science had their Titanic exhibit last year. We were just completely shocked to have something like this land in our laps, it is such a great opportunity so we jumped on it right away. We thought with 2012 being the 100th anniversary of Titanic we really wanted to aim to have this program in this year, said Carmen Erison, acting director of library services. There was no thinking about it, we had to present this type of program. It was such a great opportunity. Everybody knows about this historical event. They might just know it by the movie but now if they come theyre going to hear more about the actual story. The display is now up. On Dec. 1 Robinson will be speaking in a childrens program from 10:30 a.m. until 12 noon, and then in an adults program from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. The childrens lecture will focus more on the story and significant events. Robinson has discovered that adults are more interested in learning more about the technical side of what happened and so that is what they will hear. I will be showing a rare 1912 film on the Titanic and because its a silent film, its about half an hour long, so I lecture on that while the film is playing to get a lot of information out there about the film and whats going on

in it, said Robinson. In addition to some of the items already on display and the film Robinson plans to also bring photos and some duct plans. Robinson said a lot of Titanic historians have different specialties, for some it may be about the passengers and the survivors. I myself I focus on the technology of the ship. The woodwork, the room layouts, the way they riveted steel back then. Theres other historians that revolve around the Titanic and the Californian affair, thats the ship that sat about 10 miles

away, it was called the Californian and that sat there all through the night while the Titanic sank, said Robinson. Californian officers saw the eight rockets from the Titanic so theyre involved around the legalities, so again not much interested in the ship or the passengers just in the legal format behind it. When you get a few Titanic historians together everybody is in a different focus. The event is completely free to anyone who wishes to attend, and everyone is welcome to attend either or both lectures.

Rosebud Centre for the Arts chosen as one of Albertas most innovative organizations
Rebecca FRiesen Times Contributor Alberta Venture magazine has chosen its 25 most innovative organizations and the Rosebud Centre of the Arts has made the list with an impressive record. The magazine says that if it wasnt for its school, the tiny town of Rosebud might not exist, and with an approximate 40,000 visitors per year, the community has grown into a bustling area. We were surprised to even receive the nomination from Alberta Venture, says Adam Furfaro, executive director of the Rosebud Centre for the Arts. Part of the shock came because no one knew that the organization had even been nominated to the magazine. We did a little investigation, and we werent nominated by anybody, and we didnt put ourselves forward, it was Alberta Venture who came up the list themselves with some brainstorming, he said. Furfaro thinks that the magazine sought the organization out because Rosebud is a unique community that has found a way to exist when many people probably thought it would have failed. If you put a business model together, the business model probably wouldnt reflect [the success of the organization], says Furfaro. LaVerne Erickson founded the Rosebud theatre almost 40 years ago in 1973 where it started as a summer camp for kids, and they slowly began putting on plays. I know its been a struggle to try and operate a business in rural Canada, and you have to have a good business model to make it work, Erickson says, and concedes that he was surprised by the nomination as well. Erickson says the nomination will help with getting recognition with other businesses and campaigning the cause of rural businesses. This place kind of keeps re-inventing itself and adding on more and more and attracting people from more and more places, at first where it was a local entity, it became very quickly a gem for this entire province, said Furfaro. Rosebud will be introducing four opera house plays in 2013 along with an upcoming Christmas play, Its a Wonderful Life: The Radio Play running from Nov. 1 - Dec. 22. They are also introducing a new series entitled Rosebud Presents, which features theatrical performances, concerts and improvisation.

Capsule Comments
The safety of cutting boards in your kitchen was tested 20 years ago in the U.S. They compared wooden to plastic boards and found that the wooden ones had less bacteria in them than the plastic ones. Plastic boards were dishwasher-safe but the temperature of the water in dishwashers wasnt high enough to disinfect the boards. Glass and metal boards disinfect easily but also dull knives quicker. The morning-after pill is 89% effective if taken up to 72 hours after intercourse. It is available in pharmacies across Canada without a prescription. Our pharmacist staff can talk to you about this product. Chest discomfort is not a symptom of a stroke. It could be a sign of a heart attack, though. Stroke symptoms include weakness, confusion and difficulty speaking, confusion, vision problems, headache and dizziness or loss of balance. Call 911 immediately and you will greatly improve your chances of survival and recovery. The popular liberation treatment for Multiple Sclerosis has not proved that effective. Newfoundland recently did a study on those who had the therapy and concluded that the treatment resulted in no real permanent positive outcomes. Its important to be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about all health matters and treatments, including the drugs you take. We can help you with this information.

Standard Schools Junior High Team wins silver medal in Skills Canada Cardboard Boat Races. Left: Junior High Team. Right: Senior high Team.

Manny Everett Photos

Another successful win for Standard School

Manny EvErEtt Times Contributor

Cardboard Boat Races: sounds like a fun day off of school. Sounds like something that little kids do in the spring when the puddles are full and the streams are running wild. One can picture little paper boats with sails made of plastic bags and elastics holding it all together. This scenario is not that far off the mark. Armed with cardboard, duct tape and a few other odds and ends, junior and senior high school students from across the province used their skill and ingenuity to transform these materials into a vessel for the water. Not only does their boat need to be quick, but it must be sea worthy capable of carrying passengers as well. Around 45 teams made their way to the SAIT (Southern Alberta institute of Technology), Leisure Centre in Calgary earlier this month. The event is sponsored by Skills Canada encouraging kids in the profession of trades and technology and is also sponsored by Cenovus. The objective of the day was to design and construct a boat with only the supplied materials in one and a

half hours or less. Each team was given the same amount of materials. The boats had to be sturdy enough to float, go fast and carry lots of weight. Teachers bringing the students were not allowed to participate or coach in any way, shape or form during the event. For many of the students the event provided them with hands on experience for core subjects they are currently taking. The challenge is open ended, problem solving in nature, paralleling the thrust of broad-based curriculum. It involves: design, research & presentation, principles of structure, strength, rigidity, water permeability, propulsion, friction and direction control, buoyancy and displacement, adhesives and bonding, teamwork and FUN, according to skillsalberta.com. After the completion of the boat construction the students make their way to the pool where the real fun begins. Each team of four must put their boats in the water and one person must race against another team to the finish line in a timed event. Of course some of the boats sink immediately to the bottom of the pool and are disqualified from the weight test. Those

who complete the race are then put in the weight test whereby three of the members of their team are required to get into their already waterlogged boat and are timed as to how long the boat stays afloat. Parents and teachers alike cheer from the bleachers for all students whether they are from their respective schools or not. One junior high team and one senior high team from Standard were the only local teams from East Wheatland (Golden Hills School Division) to enter. The junior high team consisting of Cale Kathol, Emen Ryan, Devan Evanenko and Dustin Wolfs brought home the silver medal, coming in second over many of the bigger schools of Calgary, and look forward to next years event.

Great gifts that wont break the bank

Giving is synonymous with the holiday season. But in a holiday season where people are still dealing with a sagging and unpredictable economy, giving in a way that wont break the bank is imperative for many thoughtful holiday shoppers. In response to the economy, many families have set limits on how much family members can spend on holiday gifts. Such budgets are a great idea and can even make holiday shopping more fun as shoppers hunt down the perfect gift without having to worry about how theyre going to pay for it. Low-cost holiday gifts come in many shapes and sizes, and the following are a few ideas to help you get started. Food & Beverage If you need to find an inexpensive gift for the family foodie, then youre in luck. Plenty of culinary gifts can be had for less than $25. Early risers might appreciate some gourmet coffee beans accompanied by a new coffee mug, while those who prefer tea instead of coffee would no doubt appreciate a variety pack of herbal teas and a new teacup or teapot. Men and women who embrace mealtime as an opportunity to experience various styles of cuisine would likely love a cookbook filled with recipes from all over the world or a particular country whose cuisine inspires them. Photography The dawn of the digital age has made photography more popular than ever before. Amateur photographers can now take photos with a digital camera or even their cellular phones and post their pictures to the Internet in a matter of seconds. Though online photo albums are popular, a traditional photo album is a thoughtful and inexpensive gift for a loved one who cant take enough pictures. New parents might also consider giving their youngsters grandparents a photo album filled with photos of the familys newest addition. Film Fans Movie buffs are passionate about their favorite films, and feeding that passion can be easy and inexpensive. Many film fans have a favorite director or actor, so why not gift a collection of that director or actors work? Perhaps thanks to the growing popularity of streaming movies online, DVDs are now more affordable than ever. Many film fanatics are also interested in the history of the film industry, so a book detailing that history might appeal to your loved ones. Of course, all film fans generally appreciate a gift certificate to their local theatre. Pet Parents Pet parents are enamored with their furry friends, so a pet-oriented gift is sure to make their holiday season even more special. A new bowl, a flashy new collar or some additional attire aimed at helping their beloved pooch or cat stay warm through the winter months wont cost much, but its certainly something most pet owners and their pets need. For the pet parent who seemingly has everything, remember that pets can never have enough toys. Pets tend to play rough, so their toys arent known for their longevity. Some new pet toys can be had on the cheap, and pet parents will appreciate the gesture. Rest & Relaxation Arguably one of the best holiday gifts is one that wont cost shoppers a penny. Offer to babysit a loved ones kids so the adults can enjoy a worryfree night on the town or simply relax at home without the kids. Another R&R gift is to book a spa trip for you and a loved one. While this wont necessarily qualify as an inexpensive holiday gift, you can often get great deals on spa treatments and other luxurious services when you book for two. And booking such a trip is also a way to reward yourself for surviving another holiday season.

Did You Know?

Making a list when holiday shopping can help you avoid spending more than your budget allows. Rather than be caught off guard, carefully make your shopping list and include everyone you intend to gift. Purchase one or two extra generic gifts just in case something comes up. It is much easier to afford holiday giving when you can divide your budget by the number of gift recipients rather than having to add on gifts after the fact. Also, in the event you are left with extra gifts that were unnecessary, you can return them after the holidays and use the money to treat yourself to something nice or donate the gift or the returned funds to someone in need.

Air Cadet long service medal presentations

Joanna Howard PR Director 903 Squadron

The squadron was formed 13 years ago with Capt Leo Lammes as Commanding Officer, and I believe about 20 cadets. The cadet program is for young people between the ages of 1219 year olds with parades once per week on a designated evening. There are also activities on some weekends such as survival training, gliding, citizenship tours, sports or band competitions to name a few. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets are run in partnership with the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Air Cadet League. DND takes care of the officers and training of the cadets, and the League supports the squadron by raising funds for their facility, optional training not paid for by DND. Although there is NO registration fee for cadets, we ask that parents/guardians try to volunteer some time to help with fundraising or to assist the Sponsoring Committee as their time and/

or talents allow. Cadets are encouraged to become active, responsible members of their communities. They learn valuable life and work skills like teamwork, leadership, and citizenship. They also reap the personal benefits of increased self-confidence, and physical fitness, learning how to take initiative and how to make decisions. They make valuable contributions to Canadian Society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. The website is www.903aircadets. ca, the Air Cadet League website is www.aircadetleague.ab.ca and for pictures of all cadet activities try www. prairiecadets.smugmug.ca. 903 have 82 cadets enrolled and we average 60-70 weekly on parade. We are sincerely grateful to the Strathmore Ag Society for the use of the Quonset for weekly parades, and we are very proud of our Headquarters building, which was built by members of past sponsoring committees and some officer staff.

Sending shoeboxes of hope

LifeStyLeS

Breathing is more miraculous than anything that takes our breath away

Operation Christmas Child came to Trinity Christian Academy this year, and was initiated by school Pre-K students. The school collected in excess of $215 in spare change donated by students families, and from other students. The money was used to buy items for the shoeboxes and to donate them through emS. Approximately 15 shoeboxes were donated, 12 of which were filled with items purchased with the spare change. Doug Taylor Photo

Operation Christmas Child

Sacred Heart Academy collected 153 shoe boxes this year, as part of an annual good works project for Dayna mensaghis grade six class. The students at Sacred Heart are always very excited to participate in this project and learn a lot about the gift of giving. Local emTs Curtis Pedersen and Carlene Utke have volunteered their time this year to participate in this important fund raiser. They collect the shoe boxes from each school and deliver them to the warehouse in Calgary where they are sorted. They give up hours of their time organizing and visiting the schools for this project.

From one community to another

Westmount elementary School collected 100 shoe boxes this year under the organization of Janice Sumner. Operation Christmas Child started over 22 years ago and Westmount has been a part of it since they first started. This year the boxes will be going to help children in Costa Rica, el Salvador, Nicaragua, Venezuela among other countries in need. Operation Christmas Child is proud to announce that this year they will be collecting their 100th millionth shoe box. The students at Westmount are very aware that there are children in need and are very excited to know that they can help. Wendi Tashlikowich Photo

Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip

Kevin Sorenson, Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, is inviting local organizations to help find new initiatives to shape social policy in Canada. Sorenson says, our Conservative government will partner with organizations, businesses, and not-for-profit organizations to build further momentum around social innovation and social finance tools to address challenges faced by many communities in Canada, and right here in our riding. We are trying to broaden horizons and think outside the box to leverage new avenues for solutions.

This is a Human Resources and Skills Development initiative as announced in Economic Action Plan 2012. We want to explore social finance, with the goal of eventually testing new methods of addressing existing social and economic challenges in communities across Canada. Social finance is about mobilizing private capital to achieve social goals, creating opportunities for investors to finance projects that benefit Canadians and realize financial gains, he continues. Organizations are invited to submit innovative ideas to help shape future social policy in Canada. Ideas will be accepted until Dec. 31. Those interested in participating should visit: hrsdc. gc.ca/socialfinance.

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained 1/3 cup grated Romano cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained 1/3 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup sour cream 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, along with the Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs Canada, announced last week the creation of the Memorial Ribbon. The Memorial Ribbon will be offered to close family and friends of deceased Canadian Forces (CF) members as a memento of personal loss and sacrifice. Our Government has enormous respect for the men and women who have made sacrifices in service of their country. The introduction of the Memorial Ribbon reflects our Governments desire to provide a small token of remembrance to those close to our military members who passed away while in service of Canada, said Minister MacKay. The Government of Canada is determined to do everything it can to support Canadas heroes and their families. With the new Memorial Ribbon, our Governments ensuring that those who are not usually designated as potential recipients of the Memorial Cross will be able to honour their loved ones by wearing this Ribbon with pride. Memorial Ribbons may be issued in commemoration of every CF member whose death is at-

tributed to injury or illness sustained on or after Oct. 1, 1947, due to military service. This date coincides with the first date inscribed in Veterans Affairs Canadas Seventh Book of Remembrance. The Memorial Ribbon is a profound demonstration of our care and concern for Canadas military families - not just the men and women who bravely serve our country, but their families and other loved ones who have sacrificed so much for us, said Minister Blaney. This is a fitting complement to the Memorial Cross. It reflects how deeply loved and dearly missed our fallen heroes are. The Memorial Ribbon will now be part of the Memorial Package, which currently includes the Memorial Cross, the Memorial Scroll, the Memorial Bar, the Sacrifice Medal, and inscription in the Seventh Book of Remembrance. For those eligible recipients whose beneficiaries have previously received the Memorial Package without the Memorial Ribbon, the ribbons will be sent separately to the executor of the estate upon written request. The Department of National Defences Directorate of Honours and Recognition is the office responsible for the administration of the Memorial Ribbon, which will be available in early 2013.

Letters to the editor

Sorry for the misunderstanding

To the Editor I would like to make a statement regarding the previous interview report that was put out regarding Strathmore Rural Fire and Carseland Fire. There seems to be some misstatements on what I said at the interview, thus causing some misunderstanding and ill feeling regarding it. I would like to apologize to the Strathmore Rural Board and the Strathmore Rural Fire Fights for any misstatements and misunderstanding that was caused. Thank You Curt Emde Carseland Fire Chief

Christmas craft fairs and bake sales are in full swing

Help bring home Snow Whites family

Jack, Charlie and Cale received a wonderful early Christmas present from their Grandma, who lives in Saskatoon. The gift was very special and grandma had spent hours hand painting it for her grandchildren. Unfortunately, Snow White, her prince and all the dwarfs have all been stolen off the families front lawn in Strathmore Lakes. If anyone has seen them please contact Strathmore R.C.M.P. The family is going to leave their missing sign up until Christmas eve in hope that their one Christmas wish will come true before Christmas morning.

It is always a treat to come in out of the cold and find a craft sale in the area. Many people cannot go to the big centres like Calgary or Spruce Meadows to the big Bazaars at Christmas. Make sure you look in your local areas for any up coming shows. Local Standard artist Twila McKinnon with daughter Tiffany Goerzen and husband Riley Goerzen selling their art and leather works.

To curl, or not to curl that is the question!

Pat Fule Fule for Thought Oh Curling, how I wish I understood you! I mean I understand the basics of you and your strategies but I dont get you, or why people like you! I mean, we live in a place that can have harsh, cold winters. We all seem to long for escapes to warmer, tropical weather in winter. Yet many of us warm up the vehicles, scrape the windshields, and rumble off to the curling rink, only to spend over two hours IN cold, ON ice and sweeping a granite rock! Ive tried to like curling, I really have. I even curled in the Mixed League for a while with Deb. Dont get me wrong, I appreciate that its a sport and takes skill, but so does Shuffleboard, Hopskotch, and Horseshoes! Curling in the Mixed League also taught me that my attention span in curling is limited. I feel like the dog in the Pixar movie Up where hes distracted by anything Squirrel! (only funny if youve seen the movie!). Debs tried to make me feel better about the sport. Shes described me as a great little sweeper which means I played a LOT of Lead. Oh, and they always tell you, you know the leads the most important position, because you set up the end. All I know, is that I throw my two rocks, sweep my a*# off, and the rock, or rocks, are gone taken out dead! Then I spend the rest of the end sweeping others rocks, which is WAY too much like a yard chore on ice. Its like someone long ago, said hey, Ive got a GREAT idea for a sport. Its the coldest winter on record, lets go on a frozen river with some really heavy rocks. Ill push them so they slide YOU sweep them! Now, the other guy probably said that wasnt fair, and they decided to take turns sweeping sounds like a GREAT sport. I got to watch Deb in the Canmore bonspiel this last weekend. She always curls with her dad and its become their tradition. Its also become mine, as I have WATCHED these curling marathons for over 25 years! What drives me crazy, is that DURING the games, the Curling Club also has curling coverage or games on their flatscreen TVs! To me, thats like being in a dentists chair, and he/she turns on the TV JUST so you can watch a Root Canal being done onscreen! Theres no escape for me! One lady even said shed like it, if you could watch replays of certain shots in these LOCAL games! Hmmmmm, now THAT sounds great DOUBLE the boredom! Similar to this, I do live in fear of watching Deb curl, for one reason. At some point after the game, shell ask me something like, did you see my shot in the fifth end? Fifth end I cant remember YESTERDAY, let alone one shot in ONE end! I have tried to fake it and go along with the discussion, but usually she figures out that I have no clue about whatever shot it was, or how important it really was! I figure if Im there thats pretty good dont expect too much from me! At the Canmore Mixed Spiel, I had the misfortune to see a sight I have never seen in Curling before. Two teams must have known each other, and one was curling while the other watched. At some point I was told that at the far end, the Skip mooned the people watching! Then he (apparently) lay down in the rings so his full moon was broadcast via the ceiling camera to all watching in the lounge! In retaliation, or because of the drunken card game being played, one of the OTHER curling teams responded. Press ham, press ham, his team chanted. Before any of us knew what was happening, the guy dropped his pants enough to press his bare butt against the viewing glass! There was an uproar of laughter, but most of us sat there stunned. In all my years watching curling games, this was a first. I may never be the same again, I know the nightmares may come in the days ahead. Theyll probably be curling nightmares, but I DO dread the next full moon! (Fule for Thought is a slice of life humourous column that appears in the Strathmore Times, written by long-time resident, town councillor, high school teacher, coach, husband and father of two Pat Fule.

Cosmetology for a Cause

Rynelle Wiebe Times Jr Reporter

The Strathmore High School Cosmetology class will be holding a fundraiser on Nov. 28-29 at Strathmore High School in order to raise money for a family in need this Christmas season. This is the fifth year the class has held the fundraiser and this year it is led by Tessa Dorosh and Courtney Davis. All the money that we raise, we spend that on a family for Christmas, said Cheryl Davidson, a cosmetology teacher at Strathmore High School. Last year they raised a thousand [dollars] so this year their goal is fifteen hundred.

Last year the money was used to adopt a family of eleven by purchasing gifts that would be delivered anonymously to the family, as well as supporting two women in need in the community. This year, the class will be supporting families through churches in Strathmore. The fundraiser will include various salon services such as hair colouring and cuts, perms, manicures, pedicures, and facials. Babysitting will also be provided this year with fun activities planned for the kids. To take part in this event, and book an appointment on Nov. 28 and 29 from 4-9 p.m. Call Strathmore High School at 403-934-3135 and ask for the Cosmetology department.

Queens Jubilee Award for Rosebud founder

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor

LaVerne Erickson was among 30 recipients in the riding of Crowfoot to receive the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal at a ceremony in Stettler last week. The medal commemorates the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IIs accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada. Erickson said that he always had an interest in the Royal family. He remembers seeing pictures of the Royal family on the wall of his Grade 1 homestead school and he remembers the announcement that the King died. He often wondered at the challenges the members of the Royal family would face. He admires the actions of the Queen as a ruler. I have always felt an affinity for the Queen, because she is head of state and head of church, has through all sorts of personal family struggles, and struggles across the Commonwealth remained steadfast to her ideals. That is quite uncommon in our society. People tend to give up or collapse under the pressure, said Erickson. The medal was meant as a tangible way to honour significant contributions and achievements made by Canadians such as LaVerne Erickson. I dont feel that I have received this medal so that LaVerne Erikson would be made significant. It comes because we together have an obligation to build our lives and our communities, said Erickson. When Erickson received the medal at the award ceremony, Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson mentioned that Erickson has always been an idea person.

Ericksons many great ideas have become area institutions. He founded the Rosebud School of the Arts, Rosebud Theatre, the Chemainis Theatre in B.C., the Canadian Badlands Passion Play and Canadian Badlands Ltd. He was one of 100 people to receive the Calgary Stampedes Western Legacy Award, for his impact in promoting the values of Albertas western hospitality, commitment to community, pride of place and integrity. Erickson was a past recipient of the Alto Ambassador Award for his outstanding contributions to Albertas tourism industry. I founded so many things. We have to have kind hearts but our fortitude has to be strong as steel. We have to carry on no matter what outsiders see. We can feel stressed and carrying the world on our shoulders, but we dont want to show that to others. We dont want others to become discouraged, but we want them to rise to the challenge. The Queen has done that admirably. Each of us in the Commonwealth has to do our part to make it a great Commonwealth, said Erickson. He has his own ideas about leadership. Once things get going, I believe I have to give projects over to other people. I have always felt, if it is truly blessed of God, others will take it to heart and it will move many people. If it was just LaVernes idea, it will die with LaVerne. If it was meant to be, it will become meaningful to other people and they will lend their lives to be part of it. His mentorship and leadership style is respected by many. LaVerne Ericksons service to Canada, Alberta, The Canadian Badlands region and the Hamlet of Rosebud is legendary, explains Adam Furfaro,

Executive Director, Rosebud Centre of the Arts (RCA) At RCA, we are so excited that he has been recognized by the Queen, via the Governor-General and Kevin Sorenson, MP Crowfoot. LaVerne is a true visionary and we are proud that he, as our founder, is still actively involved here at RCA as an advisor and mentor. His servant heart is a constant motivator and reminder to this organization, our staff, our students and to me personally. By extension, Ericksons legacy continues in these organizations. Rosebud Theatre has gained an international reputation. It received multiple awards such as Travel Alberta-Alberta Pride Award, ALTO Award, and Rural Tourism Champion, and Alberta Venture magazine named it among the Top 25 Most Innovative Organizations in Alberta. Erikson says that his next big project in retirement is establishing relationships between rural and urban organizations and garnering support for rural resources. He would like to see Rosebud stay an intentionally open community and build partnerships so it is strong enough to forge ties with the city. He wants people to feel welcome and comfortable until Rosebud becomes a home for their hearts. We are facing the biggest challenge we have ever faced because our rural resources have about bottomed out. So few farms and so little rural support. The government has never taken a serious look at rural sustainability. If we lived in Calgary, the municipal government would be providing a majority of funds, said Erickson. Canadian Badlands Ltd. is now Canadas largest municipal tourist corporation.

It is a rural corporation. I can speak as a founder of that, coming from a base of strength that is significant; it is not one lone voice. I can speak on behalf of all of us in rural Alberta and Canada that are facing common struggles As to whether Erickson ever considered politics to further his visions, he responded no. I have never felt it in my heart that it was a direction my life would go. I would be more like a John the Baptist; thinking if he stood out in the wilderness, his voice would be heard. Otherwise, it would be overwhelmed by the weight of politics. He remembers an unidentified quote that went I would trade all the politics in this nation for the songs of the people. Thats been kind of a guiding principal in my life, said Erickson.

Fundraiser held in memory of a friend, colleague

Shannon LeCLair Time Reporter This past summer one of Strathmores own emergency nurses was killed in a tragic hit and run in Irricana. Raelene Schmaltz, 51, is remembered as being an incredible nurse who had been a real asset to both the hospital and its patients. That was a terrible day, said Darlene Pelletier, Schmaltzs co-worker at the Strathmore hospital. This is a family and its like we have lost one of our members. Schmaltzs death rocked everyone who knew her, leaving many of them wondering at the senselessness of the accident. As a way to help Schmaltzs memory live on, her co-workers in emergency are hosting a one-day fundraising blitz for STARS air ambulance. People from the community are welcome to either contribute to the silent auction or come and buy something in the silent auction. Most of the donations will come from staff in the emergency department - she was one of us. This is something we as her colleagues wish to do in memory of her, said Pelletier. This is something that she would have appreciated, she was very supportive of the STARS organization, appreciated the help that they lend us when we need it. The main thing Pelletier wants is for people to acknowledge the contribution Schmaltz made to the hospital and commemorate that by donating to something that meant a lot to her. She was an incredible nurse, we were very, very fortunate to have her skills here, said Pelletier. The one-day silent auction blitz will be held on Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. STARS will be setting up, and likely selling some of their calendars. Pelletier hopes the auction is successful and would like to see it carry on into the future in Raelene Schmaltzs memory.

Approximately 100 Grade 5 & 6 students from Chiefs Old Sun School graduated from the D.A.R.e. program on Nov. 14. The graduates from mrs. Fultons Grade 6A class show their D.A.R.e t-shirts at Chief Old Sun School.

D.A.R.E. graduation at Chief Old Sun School

Linda Jensen Times Contributor The D.A.R.E. acronym stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It is a partnership program between parents, the R.C.M.P., and Alberta Schools. D.A.R.E. brings awareness to Grade 5 & 6 students regarding the risks of bullying, drugs, alcohol, and marijuana. Students are encouraged to be positive and respectful during lessons directed by local R.C.M.P. On Wednesday, Nov. 14, about 100 students graduated from the D.A.R.E. program. These students were from the Grade 5 & 5 classes at Chief Old Sun School and Crowfoot School, which are administrated by the Siksika Board of Education. Graduation eligibility included the completion of several things: attendance, classroom sessions plus a workbook and an essay or poster. The essay was entitled: Why It Is Important To Me To Be Drug or Alcohol Free. In the program, students learned that some of the health risks to taking drugs and alcohol include organ damage, cancer, brain damage, coma and/or death. Students discussed cool things to do rather than take drugs or alcohol. The list was long. Activities included kickball, hockey, drawing, reading, playing outside, being with friends, or listening to music. There were many others. Since October the capable program facilitator, Constable Heather Logan, has gained a lot of respect from students. Some said they even went to her place for Halloween and didnt even play any tricks! On their own initiative, the Grade 6A students even made a birthday/thank you card for Constable Logan. They had this to say about her: Shes cool. Shes fun and nice. She teaches a good class. It is so great to see children responding positively to local authorities. The D.A.R.E. graduation celebration took place in the school gym, with elders, parents, drummers, students, school staff, and the local mounties in red serge. Chief Old Sun and Crowfoot Schools elected Chief and Council carried in the flags along with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Siksika Nation Chief, Fred Rabbit Carrier. The Council recited the Atsimoihkan, A Prayer. After a moment of silence for the loss of an elder and two constables, school principal Wanda Calf Robe, told the audience that she considers Constable Logan family. [Logan] attended Chief Old Suns June BBQ, lobbied for Coats for Children and took on [D.A.R.E., which was a] big task. After students were awarded their certificates, they shared drumming and a round dance, and then a festive pizza lunch with juice, graduation cake, and pictures with their favorite constable.

Whodunit mystery to grace Strathmore High stage

Wendi TashlikoWch Times Contributor The Clock Struck Twelve written by James Reach, is coming to the stage at Strathmore High School, playing nightly at 7 p.m. from November 24 27. The tickets can be purchased ahead of time at the school office or at the door for $10. Proceeds from the production are put directly back into the department to pay for the costs of producing. The main stage event is being put on by the Drama 20/30 and Musical Theatre 35A classes. Paula Richardson has been teaching at Strathmore High School since 2001 and is very proud of the intensity and dedication her drama students are putting into this production. She has a total of 14 students in her Grade 11 and 12 drama classes, and they are all either on stage, or behind the scenes. Drama is an elective course for students at the high school; if they choose to take Musical Theatre 35A as a follow up class they can use these credits towards their University applications. The students had to audition for their parts earlier on in the semester. It has been a wonderful experience for Richardson to watch the students grow/ learn and take great risks. There are two students who are double-casted for roles. The cast enjoyed picking out and designing their own costumes. It helped them to be more involved in the

development of their characters. From beginning to the end it was amazing to watch the students meld together and take on leadership roles to get them to their goal, explains Richardson. This is Richardsons second and third time teaching some of these students. She was lucky enough to produce and work with some of them in Daddys Dyin: Whos Got the Will?, last years main stage show. This years production is sure to keep you guessing, said Richardson. The play is a Mystery Farce/ Whodunit genre. There are lots of fun and crazy characters to keep you interested. The Clock Struck Twelve begins on June 25 when the three travelling Star Sisters are stranded in a storm. They seek shelter in the Thomas Mansion, and unfortunately arrive on the eve of a murder that happened there two years ago. Supposedly an innocent man has gone to jail. Thanks go out to J. Richardson who was instrumental in set design, as well to the Strathmore Theatre Players who donated flats (walls) and their time to set them up.

Theres exciting news in the field of natural gas development to share with you. Actually 2 kilometres under the field to be precise.

Frightmare before Christmas

Shannon LeCLair Time Reporter Dancers with the Alberta Dance Theatre have been busy preparing for their upcoming production, Frightmare before Christmas. For the third consecutive year Strathmore dancer Neve Raycroft has successfully auditioned for a part in the annual winter show. She will be dancing as a spider, a trick or treater and Mac. The spider is her favourite role. Its kind of (because) you get to get lost in your character as being an animal thats creepy and weird, said Raycroft. For the past few years Raycrofts classmates have watched her perform. This year her Grade 5 class will be taking in a special showing of the performance on Nov. 29. Im really actually quite touched that she gets so much support. She puts her heart and soul into this and its a huge time commitment. Shes 10 and shes missing out on birthday parties and things like that, so then for them to turn around and support her like that words can not express how much it means to us to get that support, said Marnie Raycroft, Neves mom. They say they really like the production and they say the costume and the props are really cool. A couple of them say since its handmade that its really amazing, said Neve. Dancing in front of people you know can be a little tougher than performing in from of a room full of strangers. Neve said it doesnt really faze her. Its definitely a little bit nerve-wracking backstage but its more exciting

than nervous but then once you get on stage and do it then its just all excitement and go, go, go, said Neve. Alberta Dance Theatre is non-profit and so the parents fill different committees and try to make as many of the props and costumes as they can instead of buying them. It can be a big added commitment to an already stressed filled parent, but they make it work. I think you just make it work because she has such a passion for it and she loves it so much and I think its such an amazing opportunity for her you make it work for her, just as I would any of my children, said Marnie. The production will run from Nov. 30 until Dec. 2 at the University of Calgary. Tickets are $25 for the Nov. 30 7 p.m. show with includes and opening night after show reception. It is $20 for the other three shows, which are Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. and Dec. 2 at 1 p.m.

Looking to spread holiday cheer

Shannon LeCLair Time Reporter Christmas can be a tough time of year if money is tight. You want to take part in the festivities and purchase gifts and a turkey and all the fixings, but to do so may mean not paying a bill, or living off Kraft Dinner for a few weeks. The Quality Canine Center is hoping to spread some holiday cheer this year by helping out a family in need. We are asking people to nominate a family in the area that could use some Christmas cheer. We will be accepting nominations until Dec. 1. After nominations close we will choose the winner and begin shopping for them, said Melissa David who co-owns the Quality Canine Center. On Dec. 24 we will deliver some Christmas cheer to their doorstep including gifts and all the fixings to make a Christmas dinner. When David and her family were discussing the upcoming holiday season they all agreed they did not feel the need to exchange gifts. David said she had also been thinking about the amazing support she has had from the community over the past year with the expansion and new location. I thought this is a great way to tie the two together. I spoke to the staff and everyone was really excited to help out and be apart of this, said David. There are people and families out there who are unable to enjoy this time of year. It is especially heartbreaking when there are children who have to go without. We want to help as much as possible. If we can help one family celebrate the season, who normally would not be able to, that is a gift enough for us. We intend on providing something for the whole family including any pets. David said she has received donations from her parents and brothers family who are foregoing personal gifts to donate to this project. She said she welcomes any person or business that would be interested in partnering with the canine center or donating to the family. I know it will be difficult choosing a winner, but in the end I think we are looking for the nomination of the family that has stayed strong through their hardships and who really, truly deserves a little good fortune, said David. Nominations should include why your chosen family deserves to win, and can be sent to quality.grooming@ hotmail.com or can be dropped off at the Quality Canine Center (207, 5 Bayside Place, Strathmore) by Dec. 1. Please include your contact information because if your nomination is chosen the Quality Canine Center will need to get in touch to find out some details on the family such as childrens ages and hobbies.

Strathmore local does mission work in Ukraine

Manny EvErEtt Time Contributor The Mission field can be found in our backyard as well as overseas. The call to missions is a great need around the world globally and when called you cant help but answer, I will go. Theo Timmer, owner of Curbrelan Homes, went to the Ukraine with a team of eight men from Centre Street Church in Calgary for 15 days this past August. This was not Timmers first trip but instead was his sixth call to help those in need in the Ukraine. People have asked me why I do this volunteer work, I have done about 20 of these trips now over the last 15 years. In Canada we have a social service network. In the Ukraine, it is the Church that is their social network, said Timmer. The local government does not worry about the lower class of people, unless you pay a bribe. If you are lucky to work you might make maybe between $100 to $200 a month in the city. In the country you are lucky if you can make half of that, so you cannot afford to pay a bribe. Many barely have enough money to live on. For some of these people it is just part of daily life in the Ukraine. So I think if you are healthy and have the means to do this kind of work and care about people, I think you should do this stuff. It also reminds me how good we have it here even while we complain. This past trip Timmer worked for 10 days in Lutsk on a church project that involved working with the handicapped, homeless and youth as well as a rehab centre for men in the area. The missions group fixed up buildings in the area by making them handicap accessible as well as fixing a gym that was being used by the children. The Church sits in between Old Russian apartment buildings and there is no green space for the kids to play on so the gym is well used. Their next adventure took the group to the Carpathian Mountains where they did manual labour for some of the locals, including cutting firewood for a 90-year-old woman and stacking it for her use in the winter months. Gas furnaces dont exist there, one member of the team stated, it looks like third world country here. The Missions group stayed at a local Kids Centre that was built with monies donated from Hart in Calgary [a nonprofit organization that works in the Ukraine]. Sadly, the country crumbles down around those less fortunate without the means to move ahead in life. One couple, Timmer recalls, had a premature newborn that the hospital said to take home if they couldnt afford the 300rh [equivalent to $40] and Medicare is supposed to be free. The operation Hart heard about the incident and commissioned Timmers group to go and help the couple fix their house. When asked why Timmer [and others] do this kind of volunteer work he replied, maybe it can cause us to think this upcoming Christmas season of those less fortunate in our own backyards.

Lord of All Lutheran Church celebrates a new beginning

Manny EvErEtt Time Contributor Lord of All Lutheran Church in Strathmore was packed for its service on Sunday morning as members, family and friends gathered to celebrate a new beginning in their ministry. After a year of prayer, Bible studies, devotions and numerous meetings, the congregation voted in June of 2012, and decided to become a part of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC) headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio. The process began a year previous in July 2011 and was guided by Pastor Dawn Nelson and the congregational council. The direction and decision was prompted by a number of factors for the local congregation. Pastor Dawn Nelson said, as we watched the direction the ELCIC (Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada) was taking, the congregation felt drawn to seek out a church body that was more closely aligned with their understanding of tradition, ministry, and faith. After much consideration, the NALC appeared to be a closer match and home for us. The North American Lutheran Church has embraced four core values, which shape their common life: Christ Centered, Mission Driven, Traditionally Grounded and Congregationally Focused. Pastor Nelson incorporated the four values in her homily on Sunday morning focusing on being connected to the source [God] if ministry was going to grow, flourish and succeed. When asked what changed for Lord of All in leaving the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and joining the NALC Nelson replied, As we view it, by taking this step, we dont anticipate a great deal of change in who we are. It was a

change made to allow us to remain who we have always been and to hold to the values and understanding of what God calls his people to be. It was clearly a decision of the congregation after study and serious consideration of all the factors and what would best suit their needs to be a church in mission in their community. The celebration ended with a gathering of the congregation for a group picture to commemorate their first service as a member of the NALC and coffee and cake was served as Council Chair Doug Thurn thanked all those involved in helping the move become a reality. For more information about the NALC go to thenalc.org. Lord of All Lutheran Church holds their Sunday worship services at 10:30 a.m. and all are welcome.

Holy Cross Collegiate Varsity basketball teams preparing for season

ashad MukadaM Times Contributor With volleyball season wrapping up, both of the varsity basketball team coaches at Holy Cross Collegiate are getting ready for the upcoming season. Im really excited (for the start of the season), said varsity boys coach Michael Annicchiarico. Basketball is a very popular sport at our school, and we have a wide array of interests. Tryouts for the all of the basketball teams at Holy Cross Collegiate started on Nov. 19, after the volleyball zones. For the varsity teams, the season also started this week, and it will run until the second week of March. If the teams make provincials, then their season will be extended by another week. Both Annicchiarico and varsity girls coach Angela MacLean are preparing for the season by examining what their needs are for their respective teams. This season, I will have a lot of new girls on my team because last year I had a lot of (Grade 12 students), said MacLean. So, I will have a lot of new faces this year. MacLean also added that due to the new faces on the team, she may try different plays, depending on what the strengths of her players are, including strengths that she may never have seen before. (For my team), its about getting familiar with the drills that Ive used from the past, and I need to keep and what I need to change, added Annicchiarico. It will depend on who I decide to put on my team. Annicchiarico also has high expectations for his team. We would like to make it to 2A provincials, and that is what we are building towards, said Annicchiarico. He also mentioned that since Holy Cross Collegiate is hosting 2A Zones, he would like his team to do well at that tournament. MacLean, meanwhile, is looking towards the future for her team because of the departure of many players from last years roster. Its going to be a new team, so it will be to see how we will work well together, she said. Its about building the foundation for the future. MacLean added that she would also like to have her team qualify for the 2A Zones. Holy Cross Collegiate is hosting a tournament next week, the Christ Redeemer Tournament, which will be their first tournament of the year. The home tournaments for Holy Cross Collegiate are Dec. 13-14 for the varsity boys, and Feb.1 - 2 for the varsity girls.

Strathmore High and Crowther Memorial basketball teams gearing up
ashad MukadaM Times Contributor Both of Strathmores public schools are getting ready for basketball season this week. Strathmore high School Strathmore High Schools girls basketball team held tryouts during the first couple of weeks of November, and their team held their first set of practices this past week. According to girls head coach Dion Galandy, the tryouts went well, and the Spartans should once again have a decent team. Im very excited. I feel that we will have 12 well-rounded players, and the skill level of all of our players are equal such that if we go to the bench, we will not miss anything. The girls team will be pretty young, and Galandy hopes to use this season as a building block towards the future. I hope that we are going to upset some teams that didnt expect us to beat them, he said. He also said that Strathmore High School will be hosting provincials in March, which means that the team qualifies automatically. He hopes that the team gains some experience that they can use in the future. Galandy also doesnt expect to use any different plays or strategies this year compared to last year. The season for Strathmore High Schools girls team begins next Thursday, Nov. 29, with a tournament at SAIT. The first home game is on Dec. 5th, with Strathmore Highs home tournament being held on Dec.14 15. crowther memorial Junior high School Meanwhile, Crowther Memorial Junior Highs basketball teams were still holding tryouts this week due to a large turnout for the initial tryouts that were held during the week of Nov. 12. The tryouts this week were held for the purposes of paring down the rosters to 12 players each. I love basketball, and I look forward to the season starting every year because I love to coach, said senior girls coach Scott Koller. Expectations are high this season, especially for the senior girls team. We had a good year last year, so Im hoping to repeat that success this year, said Koller. Koller also said that both he and senior boys coach Matt Laslo always expect their teams to play the best they can, win or lose, and always strive to improve every game. The seasons for both teams do not start until Jan. 11-12, when they compete in a tournament.

Local talent fuels Raiders

Mario Prusina Times Editor A handful of local players from Strathmore, Langdon and Wheatland County have fueled the Rockyview Raiders to an impressive 6-3-2 record to start the season. The Chestermere-based team, which plays in the Alberta Minor Midget AAA Hockey League, is coached by area resident Doug Thurston, who is excited with the team he has assembled. Im very happy with the season so far, said Thurston. Were sitting third in the league and were playing pretty solid. Our success has been our team play overall were very hard to score against and we have two very, very good goaltenders, six solid D and then our (forward) lines are very conscientious playing in the defensive zone. We kind of score by committee and were pretty solid all the way through, so we dont have too many weak spots. Were pretty steady. The team, which consists of players born in 1997, has numerous players from the Strathmore, Langdon and Wheatland County. According to Thurston, those players play a huge part of the Raiders success. We have strong support from the Strathmore area and Langdon, said a beaming Thurston. Langdon has grown, so were getting more and more players from that area theyre gonna need a rink pretty soon. Weve been really happy with the (crop of local) players. Those players, mixed in with the rest of the roster, have formed a solid nucleus for the Raiders. According to Thurston, the team is very close and they play like family. The thing I find with the guys is their positive attitude, said Thurston. Theyre willing to come and work hard they listen to the coaches, they attempt to do what we ask of them on the ice and thats all you can ask from any player. It is a real key to our success. It was a busy weekend for the Raiders, as they hosted the AMMHL 2012 Prospect Cup Nov. 15-18 in Chestermere, with some games being played

at the Strathmore Family Centre. They are all 15-year-old kids in this tournament, so some of them will look to go to junior teams (next year), said Thurston. Its an opportunity to get teams from the North Division, who we dont play very often, to come down and play some of the South teams. Its also an opportunity for the scouts to get a look at all the boys. We had some real good teams here

it was a great turnout. Despite not winning any of their round robin games, the Raiders played solid throughout the weekend and are looking to make a push going into the second half of their season. The Raiders will resume their AMMHL schedule on Nov. 23 when they host the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the Chestermere Recreational Centre beginning at 7:15 p.m.

2012 Strathmore Community Football Association Awards

The Strathmore Community Football Association hosted their annual awards night Nov. 16 at the Civic Centre. Players from the three levels were recognized for different achievements throughout the season.

The JV Girls gave it everything they had when they hosted and competed in Zones Nov. 16 and 17.

Shannon LeClair Photo

Shannon LeCLair Times Reporter Strathmore High School (SHS) hosted the JV Girls Volleyball Zones Nov. 16 and 17. There were 10 teams who came out to compete for the title of zone champion. It was a pretty smooth tournament, said Kyle Larson who coached the girls for the weekend. We lacked a little offense but I think our offense had come a long ways in the last month or so and the girls saw the benefits of that as far as being able to hit the ball a little better and a little more often. That was kind of the area we focused on was our passing and our offense and the girls did a much better job of that this weekend than say even three weeks ago.

Larson said the girls won the matches they should have won and put up a good battle in the ones they lost. The girls ended the season 2-5-0. It was a good season I think it was definitely a growing season for the girls, they played a fair bit and they saw what the high school level is going to be like to some extent. It was a wonderful bunch of girls to work with for sure, said Larson. Jerry Flaws coached the girls through most of the season with Larson taking over for the zones weekend. It was a rebuilding year. We improved our school and volleyball knowledge. It was a dramatic improvement. We were beating teams at the end of the season that we couldnt earlier. With the possibility of eight returning players next year our future looks good, said Flaws.

Did You Know?

A theory of how Black Friday got its name, was it came from the stock market crash in late 1929 which kicked off the Great Depression. In fact that event happened on a Tuesday and not a Friday. The actual Black Friday stock market scare happened in 1869, it was in September and had to do with gold prices, so neither stock market crash had anything to do with shopping or the Friday after the American Thanksgiving.

After losing three straight games, including a pair this past weekend, the Wheatland Kings are going back to the drawing board. The local junior-B team suffered a 4-3 loss in High River on Nov. 16, before returning home the next night, losing 8-4 to Okotoks. It was a tough pill to swallow for the Kings, who were on a three game winning streak before the skid. I think thats what we have to do forget about (this past weekend), said Murphy. Were learning that you cant rely on the line of Lonnberg, Fox and Bergmann to carry the team. You need to get the secondary scoring going. Were certainly learning that you cant give up 50 shots a game and expect good things to happen. Despite being one of most prolific scoring teams in the league, Murphy said defence has been a concern over the course of the first two months of the season, specifically during the losing streak. The Kings were outshot in both games over the weekend, surrendering 88 shots against. Wheatland started the weekend taking a 2-0 lead over the Flyers early in

the second period, before surrendering the lead with just nine seconds left in the frame. The Kings re-gathered the lead with a power play marker in the third period, before High River capitalized on a pair of power plays. According to Murphy, the officials played a major role in the game, giving High River numerous 5-on-3 power plays. It was without question the worst refereeing Ive seen in my coaching career, said Murphy. It was horrible they were totally unpredictable. Even the High River coaches had no explanation and a lot of apologies, even though they had nothing to do with what referees show up. As a result, the Kings faced a couple of suspensions and injuries heading into their home game versus Okotoks. Okotoks is a good team and we were competing with (injuries) and suspensions, said Murphy. We decided wed run three lines and go at them and for the most part we did. They scored three goals (quickly) in the second period and we couldnt recover from it. The Kings are now preparing to host the Airdrie Lightning on Nov. 24 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre, before traveling to Banff the following day (3 p.m.).

Bringing home a silver!

The Strathmore ice Crushers took home the Silver medal in the U12 division this past weekend in the annual Airdrie Ring of Fire Tournament. The girls played tough and gave it their all, being beat in the final match to the Red Deer Revenge. The ice Crushers have a very new team this year, a lot of first year players, but in the short time since the beginning of the season the girls had pulled together and are learning lots. it is going to be a great year for them.

Black Ice hits the road

Mel Boschee Strathmore Black Ice This weekend, Nov. 16-18, delivered the Strathmore Black Ice into the 5th week of their season. They have had a super successful year thus far being undefeated in the regular season. As the weekend arrived, the Black Ice travelled to Lethbridge for their first tournament of the season. The weekend brought out a lot of laughs, swimming, and some great Ringette for our Black Ice players and parents alike. Friday seen the Black Ice take on the South Calgary Predators. In the dressing room there was excitement and anxiety as the girls prepared to step on the ice. The girls were passing and skating like pros, but the Predators met them every step of the way. When the final buzzer sounded, the girls fell victim to a 6-4 loss and their first loss of the season. After a pep talk at the hotel and a waterslide to refocus the girls were ready for their game Saturday morning at 9:15 a.m. Black Ice walked away from this game with a 14-5 win. There was a slight lag between games but the excitement was raging in the room prior to their third and final game in round robin play. The time was finally upon them and at 1 p.m. they stepped on the ice to take on the undefeated Bow View Venom. The girls were passing, checking, and did everything they could to get the ring past the Venom goalie short of standing on their head. Jewlyn Foat, between the pipes for Black Ice, was keeping her team in the game keeping the ring out of the net as best she could. When the final buzzer sounded, the Venom were too much for the Black Ice. Black Ice were unable to put a w in the column and were handed a devastating 8-4 loss. Although the Black Ice girls were very disappointed they knew there was one more game on Sunday. Sunday morning came and the Black Ice was taking on the Regina Ringers. At the end of the first period the Regina Ringers were only up by one point (5-4). When the second period began, the team was skating hard and passing lots, but just couldnt keep the Ringers from getting past them and firing shots at our goal. There was nothing the team could do to stop the Ringers and again Black Ice went home with loss of 9-5. The scores very seldom tell the true story of the game it really was. There was tremendous teamwork shown and a real team spirit amongst our Black Ice girls. Black Ice Goals were scored by Teia Dahm, Camryn Hinz, Alex Mackey, Ainsley Olson, Cayley Boschee, Daylen Wathen, Elizabeth Proust, Reagan

Bogusky, Jaidyn Eitzen. Youve heard me say it before but our goal scorers wouldnt be able to do what they do had it not been for the sacrifices and the play setter uppers of Hannah Arsenault and Cosette Lacroix. Given all the goal scorers and play makers, this team would be nothing without the wall between the pipes, Jewlyn Foat who put forward a gallant performance in all the games, keeping the girls not only honest but in the game. The whole team pulled together and it was some great Ringette. We are only 5 weeks into our season and its going to be an exciting year! Way to ROCK Black Ice! Come out and watch their next home game Saturday at 3:15 p.m in Strathmore, taking on the Indus Lightning.

THANK YOU

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our friends, family, co-workers, neighbours and the community of Strathmore for embracing our family and showing an unbelievable outpouring of love and support following the passing of Martin (Marty) Bouchard, husband, father, son-in-law, brother , uncle and respected community and RCMP member. I will be forever grateful for the phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, beautiful flowers, delicious meals and snacks, cards, online condolences, visits, help with home and yard care, caregiving and concern for myself and my daughters, donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association and contributions to our daughters educational trust fund established by the congregation of Hope Community Church. I am overwhelmed by the support shown to our family. Thank you to all who attended Martins Celebration of Life service on Friday, November 16th. Heartfelt thanks to all who showed such support and caring to me and my daughters. I would like to acknowledge and thank Francis Van Bussel of Wheatland Funeral Home for his comforting manner, care, knowledge, attention to detail and support during this difficult time. As well, my heartfelt thanks to Pastor Evan Dewald who was, and will continue to be an unwavering support and friend during this journey of healing. Evan spoke truthfully, kindly and from his heart, of his friend Marty. Thank you to both of you for all of your assistance, as well as your compassion for myself and my girls. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Rob Klewchuk and Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown, both of Regina, Saskatchewan, for their touching tributes at the service. Thank you to all who assisted with the service and reception. Your contributions did not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated. To those who stood by Marty and I with your unwavering love, support, compassion and understanding, I cannot express my appreciation enough. If you also wish that we could have done more for Marty, I ask you to please join me in support of those who suffer with mental illness, to do what you can to help identify, acknowledge, accept and improve mental health for all. My hope is that each of our efforts to eliminate the stigma of this disease will help to change the future for others.

Bisons continue to climb

Mario Prusina Times Editor Sparked by a six-game winning streak, the UFA Bisons have vaulted all the way to third place in the Chrysler (South) Division of the AMHL. After a disastrous October to start the season, the local triple-A midget team remains undefeated in the month of November, including a pair of road wins in Edmonton this past weekend. The Bisons defeated the Knights of Columbus 3-2 on Nov. 17, before posting a 4-0 over the MLAC United Cycle Maple Leafs the following day. This weekend was fantastic, said Bisons head coach Jeremy Friesen. We talked a lot about how we wanted to carry over some of our home success on the road. As you know, the road hasnt been a place that has treated us too well so far this year, so it was important to keep working on the things we (needed to improve on). The Bisons opened the weekend with a solid win over the Pats. After building a 3-0 lead, the herd held on to the one goal win. Our forecheck and our start on Saturday in the first game in the first period was probably the best period of hockey we played all year, said Friesen. We got out to a 2-0 lead early on and it easily could have been, four, five, six nothing their goaltender played outstanding and we just dominated them. We had all four lines going on the forecheck and cycling the puck down low, creating chaos and havoc in front of their net. Mark Nerland, Connor McCallum and Ryan Zeniuk each scored once to lead the way for the Bisons, while netminder Richard Palmer made 37 saves to preserve the win. Meanwhile against the Leafs, the Bisons posted their first shutout of the season. On Sunday we got Grayson Sharpe back in the net and he was outstanding for us, said Friesen. We started a little slow and he made a couple of big saves and that got the guys going we had a 3-0 lead going into the third and this time we learned our lesson. Its nice to get the first shutout of the year, for sure, especially on the road. Affiliate player Dalton Dubetz scored a goal and added an assist, while Brody Valette and Mason McCarty added a pair of assists in the win. Sharpe made 38 saves while Mackenzie Bauer, Keifer Schaufler and Tristan Thompson each scored once. The Bisons will now face the top team in the league on Nov. 23 (8 p.m.) when they host the Red Deer Chiefs at the Strathmore Family Centre.

Krista, Julianna and Natalie Bouchard

Rest in peace Marty. You are loved.
